The Benefits of Natural Soy Wax Candles vs. Traditional Paraffin

Candles add warmth, beauty, and comfort to our lives — but not all candles are created equal. The type of wax used can make a big difference in how a candle burns, how it smells, and even how safe it is for your health and the environment.

At Louise Candle™, we proudly use 100% natural soy wax in our candles. Here’s why it’s a better choice compared to traditional paraffin wax.

1. Clean-Burning for a Healthier Home

Soy wax is plant-based, which means it burns cleaner and produces little to no soot. Paraffin, on the other hand, is made from petroleum, and burning it can release small amounts of potentially harmful chemicals into the air.

Why it matters:
Clean-burning candles help maintain healthier indoor air quality for you, your family, and even your pets.

2. Longer Burn Time = Better Value

Soy wax burns slower and at a cooler temperature than paraffin, meaning your candle lasts longer. This not only gives you more hours of fragrance but also saves money in the long run.

3. Eco-Friendly & Sustainable

Soy wax is made from soybeans — a renewable crop. Paraffin is a byproduct of petroleum, which is non-renewable and has a heavier environmental footprint. Choosing soy means supporting sustainable farming and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

4. Stronger, More Natural Scent Throw

Soy wax holds fragrance beautifully and releases it slowly, creating a more consistent and natural aroma. Paraffin can sometimes give an artificial or overpowering scent.

5. Easy to Clean

Accidentally spill wax? Soy wax cleans up easily with warm, soapy water. Paraffin spills can be stubborn and messy.
